So about the time the WPA crack was in the news, I updated the firmware on my TP-Link Archer C7 to the latest available. Since about that time, my desktop PC (Win10) somewhat regularly loses connection. It's connected via powerline adapter. The connection drops, I get no connection errors from Windows, Steam, etc., then after 30 seconds or so it comes back.
I don't know for a fact that the router firmware caused the problem. I'm just grasping at correlation. I didn't note exactly when the problem started, I just know it's been in the last few weeks. I installed the fall creator's update as well.
We haven't noticed this problem on other devices yet. We can watch streaming video services for quite some time without interruption. Though I suppose it's possible that the connection comes back before the buffered video runs out?
What the heck to I check to put an end to this? Thanks for looking.
